Gas 210 Ace suitable for low-temperature installations as well as retrofit.

It comes in outputs of 80kW, 120kW, 160kW and 200kW and is backwards compatible with the Gas 210 Eco Pro.

Navien UK adds AI to integrate controls

Navien UK is using AI to help create a network of integrated heating controls in the home. Its ON AI is designed to work with the NCB boiler range, as well as Smart Plus and Smart Plus controllers.

ON AI can provide homeowners with a Home Energy Management System (HEMS) report, providing an in-depth analysis of their heating and hot water usage.

Through a mobile app, new features that help make heating homes simpler include Smart Diagnostics to enable homeowners to diagnose potential issues, and Smart Forecast which uses data from OpenWeather to respond to the weather to ensure a comfortable temperature.

“We’ve been developing an industry-first technology that will help make users’ lives that little bit

Heat pumps and support package with Baxi

Baxi has a new range of air source heat pumps (ASHPs) as part of a packaged solution that includes cylinders, controls, training, enhanced warranty options, nationwide commissioning and after-sales support.

The Baxi HP40 monobloc ASHP range comes in outputs of 4kW to 13kW.

The heat pumps are designed to be used with a cylinder and come with a magnetic filter as standard. DC inverter technology maximises energy efficiency.

Renewables director Harriet Evans says: “We understand many heating engineers will need to become familiar with ASHPs for the country to hit that 600,000 heat pump installation target.

“Whether installers are new to heat pumps or already have a recognised qualification, we offer everything they need to become comfortable with Baxi’s ASHPs, from initial training and on-site commissioning support on the first install to expert customer service and after-sales advice.”

The ASHPs come with enhanced warranty options of up to five years.

They are joined by an updated Baxi Assure heat pump range for housebuilders, developers, social housing providers and their appointed contractors to install in new-build and social housing properties. www.baxi.co.uk/ products/air-sourceheat-pumps easier,” says technical director Sean Keleher. “It is the next step in helping homeowners utilise their heating system more efficiently while using less energy and cutting down energy bills.

“With diagnostics at your fingertips, boiler faults are flagged within the app and an engineer is notified immediately to identify any problems before they become more serious, which in turn will help minimise boiler downtime.

“The technology is also useful for residents in rental properties because they’ll be able to flag issues to their landlord before they develop, speeding up the maintenance process and, again, reducing downtime.” www.navien.co.uk/technology/ on-ai

ON AI also includes geofencing so users can switch the boiler on or off based on their proximity up to a radius of 5km.

Meet Honeywell’s multi-purpose room thermostat

Honeywell Home’s new DT4 room thermostat range has been developed in response to installer feedback to help improve energy efficiency in customers’ homes.

Using the simplicity and reliability of the mechanical room thermostats of the 1970s, the room thermostat combines a modern, sleek design with today’s engineering.

It can be integrated into both new and older-style heating systems, as well as working with smart heat zoning solutions, including underfloor heating and heat pumps.

It’s compatible with existing Honeywell Home wireless products and provides wired or wireless options for time proportional or modulating appliance control. Wireless and OpenTherm options work with the Honeywell Home Evohome and new HCC100 underfloor multi-zone controller.

It comes with a five-year warranty as standard. www.resideo.com/dt4

Three more lower-output Vitocal heat pumps from Viessmann

Viessmann has added three lower-output variants to its Vitocal 150-A/151-A domestic air source heat pump range. The 4kW, 6kW and 8kW models complement its current 10kW, 13kW and 16kW versions, providing a bigger choice of outputs for a wider range of heating modernisation projects.

All Vitocal 150-A/151-A models provide both heating and cooling and can be connected to single-phase electricity supply, with three-phase models also

available for the 10kW to 16kW models. They use R290 natural propane refrigerant, which is one of the most climate-friendly and cost effective available .

The wall-mounted Vitocal 150-A and the floor-standing Vitocal 151-A with integral 190L DHW cylinder have a maximum flow temperature of 70°C. If the existing cylinder is not suitable, then the Vitocal 151-A with integral cylinder is a suitable replacement.

The One Base control platform includes an integrated energy management system, providing transparency of energy consumption and costs.

Marketing manager Darren McMahon says: “The arrival of the 4kW, 6kW and 8kW models provides our installers with added flexibility to select the appropriately sized product for homes with low heat loss, such as smaller or newer homes, or perhaps whole-house retrofits.” www.viessmann.co.uk

Panasonic extends Aquarea L generation with the Hydro Split

Panasonic’s Aquarea L Generation heat pumps now come in Hydro Split All in One high-performance units. The heat pumps are available in capacities of 5kW, 7kW and 9kW.

The All in One R290 unit has a hydraulic connection between the indoor and outdoor unit, providing water outlet temperatures of up to 75°C down to -10°C. These units are suitable for retrofit applications, when renovating a home with existing radiators.

It’s a compact, easy-to-install system with a footprint of 598mm x 600mm. It can be neatly lined up with other big appliances like a fridge or washing machine to reduce the space required for installation. Its low height means it can also be installed with a ventilation unit on top.

The unit generates domestic hot water and stores it inside an insulated 185L stainless steel tank.

New from Hamworthy Heating is the Dorchester DR-SG water heater. It comes in 10 power outputs and three storage capacities, with a durable stainless-steel tank, heat exchanger and coil.

It’s suitable for renovation and new-build projects, including locations with substantial and continuous hot water demand such as hotels and sports facilities, particularly when replacing a noncondensing water heater.

The water heaters are operated via the Siemens LMS mini controls platform and feature an intuitive digital control panel with a clear backlit LCD and a scroll wheel.

It’s designed to fit through a standard 800mm doorway with a narrow diameter of 80cm (excluding 538 models), and is lightweight for its class, with straightforward transportation and installation.

It’s approved for multiple flue system types and all models are convertible to run on LPG. www.hamworthy-heating.com

The original, remastered: Vaillant’s Ecotec Plus

Vaillant has unveiled the next generation of its Ecotec Plus boiler and a new MyVaillant Connect gateway.

The company has remastered the Ecotec Plus combi and system range, adding refinements while keeping its familiar features and layout. The new models work with natural gas today, as well as being hydrogen-prepared for the future, and most models are LPG-convertible without the need for a conversion kit.

The Ecotec Plus model has all components easily accessible from the front of the boiler for simpler routine maintenance and servicing. Maintaining the same footprint, connections, pipe layouts and accessories as previous models means that you’ll see many similarities between installing the existing and new models. The design retains the iconic Vaillant curve.

IoniDetect unlocks the most efficient combustion and optimised performance by constantly monitoring the quality of the gas, so maximising the available energy. The system collects performance data on key components, so that you can remotely access and diagnose any issues.

With its new Limp Home function, the Ecotec Plus will try and correct a fault itself 10 times.

If it can’t do so, it will run at a reduced output and alert the homeowner and the installer.

MyVaillant Connect is a new gateway to provide a connected heating system solution. It integrates with smart home platforms, including Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa and coming soon, Google Home. www.vaillant.co.uk/remastered
